AVG Technologies, a leading developer of Internet security software, announced today that a pair of its security solutions won prestigious 2009 Global Product Excellence Customer Trust Awards. The awards are sponsored by the Info Security Products Guide. These awards recognize products that offer the highest levels of security to consumers and businesses. Winners were announced during the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. AVG was one of the rare companies receiving recognition in multiple categories.AVG Internet Security won the top Security Solution for Consumers. AVG Internet Security for home users delivers comprehensive protection against viruses, spyware, identity theft, and poisoned web pages. It protects against all types of malware that can threaten an individual’s personal information.
AVG Internet Security Network Edition won the top Security Solution for Enterprise (Small and SOHO). It provides comprehensive internet security for a company’s workstations, notebooks, and file servers. Small and SOHO companies have limited IT resources. With AVG providing security, they can focus on other business critical activities.
“In an interconnected world, threats have no boundaries, and security has to remain a prime requirement,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief of Info Security Products Guide. “We are pleased to honor AVG Technologies as a winner in two categories for 2009.”
Both products contain AVG LinkScanner technology, delivering users additional protection while they search and surf the internet. AVG LinkScanner was introduced in April as a free product to home users. It works alongside many other consumer internet security solutions and operates in real-time.
“Cyber criminals and cyberthreats are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Sixty percent of transient threats, for example, come and go in less than a day. Layered solutions that can keep ahead of these threats are essential,” stated JR Smith, CEO of AVG Technologies. “We strive to deliver these solutions for both homes and businesses. We are honored to receive this recognition by Info Security Products Guide and our customers for our efforts.”
